Thankful Post August 18, 2016, Spring/Summer tablescape from last year

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

Psalm 100:4

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope all is going well with getting back into the swing of things after the summer vacation, at least for those of you who just sent children to school, and for those who didn't, maybe you are feelinglike me and ready to get your Fall on....I am debating whether to have a Sunday School Social here in the next 2 weeks or to wait until later in September, I have a feeling later in Sept. is gonna win out, as I am itching to do something creativein the house again. As it has been since Spring since I have done anything inside the house other than some tablescapes.So think I am gonna be moving thefamily room furniture around soon. lolWhich will get the ball rolling........

Thought I would share a Spring/Summer tablescape with you today......this was from last year I think!! Maybe it willinspire you to have one last Summer fling!! lol

If you'd like.......You can click on any pic to enlarge them all, for better viewing pleasure!Well, on with Thankful Thursday......

I am thankful

#1

for another fun evening with the

couple we are mentoring. We onlyhave a couple more sessions to go,and will be sorry when it is over,as it was a real blessing to us.

#2

that 50 people showed up for a work

day at church. Our church is starting

a new satellite church (which means it

will have the same name, but will just

be at a different location/campus than

the original church). It is in a nearby

town and they are trying to get the

new campus church building ready to

be up and running by January 2017.

It is in need of quite a bit of reno

and updating, and because so many

people came to help, they got all of

the painting done and ready for new

carpeting to be laid some time in Sept.,

and got rid of a lot of junk or unneeded

things, as well as many other things

done. It was only for 3 hrs, but was

fun and neat to see kids from the

youth group, and ages of people all

the way up to Sr. citizens all working

together for a common and good goal.

They will probably need a few more

works days, but as the old saying

goes and is so true.... "many hands

make the work light".

#3

for the great job of teaching from theyoung couple we are working with, they have begun teaching in the young married's class to help us,because the couple we are working with now, will be leaving us in Jan. to go to the new

campus,we are sad to say, as we have all worked so well together, but we also know it is the Lord's will, and are very grateful for this new young couple.and of course, wish our soon to beformer co-workers much success intheir new endeavors.....

#4

for Hormel "Natural Choice" Bacon.

(NO artificial ingredients, no nitrites,

or nitrates or hormones, and it tastes

delicious,even after we freeze it.) We

can only find it at Walmart and some

times Publix, but it is more expensive

there. Our lil darling loves bacon and

we feel good about giving this to her

as it is a very healthy and good bacon

which is also heart healthy.

Disclaimer: I get no kickbacks of any

kind for this Bacon endorsement.

We discovered it years ago and it is

delicious and a perfect product for

heart patients, or anyone who wants

to eat more healthy. So just like it

so much I wanted to share that.

#5

Dee and Jerry made another tripand back to Charleston over theweekend, and are home againsafe and sound.

#6that Dee and Jerry found a housethey love.....and are already undercontract, that way they can move in as soon as they close on their home in Asheville, which will really be nice for them.

#9for all the rain we have hadin the last few weeks, ouryard is hap hap happy, andso are we....since it means a much lower water bill. lol

#10that Megan and lil darling got tostay for pizza and salad with us on Wed. night, since Scott was out of town. It has been awhile....so that was quite nice.Also, for a really fun day withlil one.........cause she always makes us smile and laugh..........

#11for Kemp's "Chocolate CaramelBrownie" frozen yogurt. Taste'sgreat in a sugar cone, and verylo- cal, if you just eat one scoop.

#12for several neat things I felt like the Lord showed me today as I was watching 2 different christiantv shows........Love when Hedoes that!!

Morning Pam,Nice to hear from you again and thanks for your encouraging comments. The Lord is so goodto us in so many ways all the time. I honestly think being overly busy keeps us from seeingall the good things around us many times. Maybe that is why the Lord says in Psalm 46:10 to be still and know that I am God!!

Ready to get on with fall (as you know with your help, thank you!) I went ahead and put my fall picture on my blog page, ha!#1. You are a great witness and host. I'm sure they will miss the sessions too!#2. A wonderful deed for all involved and the LORD will greatly bless each and every one!#3. The LORD always seems to replace what we lose, whether things or people!#4. I'll have to look for it. I love bacon and my microwave bacon rack is great!#5. The LORD is so good. I have them in my prayers throughout the day for the LORD's blessing on completing their closings!#6. I'm sure they are busy packing!#7. Hallelujah! I pray she has a wonderful time and a great time of learning!#8. I loved my "take-out" pizza from Nellie's, lol! It was delicious!#9. Amen! I thank the LORD every time I see the clouds building up and hear the thunder and pit-pat of rain! I thank the LORD I have a surge protector on the electric box!#10. It's always such a blessing to share around the table with those you love!#11. For me it would be like Lays Potato Chips, "You can't eat just one," ha! #12. Isn't that such a wonder when our LORD communicates to us in that way!!!Thank you for all yours and Jim's guidance on my "question" and Jim fixing my computer and you helping me with "Cutest Blog..." I love you all, Susan

Your table setting looks beautiful as always! I have the same burlap runner! We used them for our daughter's bridal shower and wedding. I love your thankful list as well. Thanks for visiting and for always leaving sweet comments on my blog. Things here are good here. Our son, Michael, leaves for his second year at Liberty University this week and we're missing him already. We're going to visit for family weekend in October so that should be fun. Hope you have a great week!

Hi Lois,Always so nice to hear from you and so glad things are going well with all of you. Yea, thesenew empty nester times take some getting used to for sure. It is freeing for us, but yet wedo miss them so much. Glad you will be going to visit in Oct. and that he will be cominghome for Thanksgiving and Christmas I would assume. I know that when we see our daughterknowing when we will see her next makes it a lil easier. We haven't seen her since earlyJune and I am having DeeAnna withdrawal even tho we do talk a lot. lol

That is neat you have that same runner, I thought it was so pretty when I found it....sawsomeone elses blog the other day who had one and she had sewn a white ruffle to each end and it looked really great.
